King's Business - 1968-12

WHERE CAN A JEW FIND CHRIST? On street corners, in homes, in shops, and in our witnessing cen­ ters, our workers faith­ fully proclaim the story of redemption accord­ ing to Moses and the prophets, and the gos­ pel message from the New Testament, and Jews are finding the Saviour. For help in witnessing, or for your own spiritual need, write to: Rev. A. A. MacKinney Général Director American Messianic Fellowship 7448 N.O am en Avenue, Chicago, III. 60645 to determine with certainty the disposal after their death of that which the lord entrusted to their stewardship without delays, deductions, inheritance taxes, and probate court costs. generous income, and

A Jewish boy accepted a tract, "Isaiah's Por­ trait of Messiah" and immediately asked, "Can you tell me more about this?" There on a street corner in Chicago a 12 year old boy listened intently to the skillful presentation of the Scriptures arid ac­ cepted Jesus Christ as his Messiah and Sav­ iour. A middle-aged Jew­ ess, after hearing the gospel for several years at Miami Beach called and. said, "I am terribly distressed. Please come over. I must find the Lord today."

space probing, nuclear physics, electronics, etc. It is true man cannot create life, but he might be able to dis­ cover life’s process. If he discov­ ers, through experiment, the proc­ ess of the inception of organic life, then he will have discovered only a little more about the omni­ science of our God and Saviour. If man goes beyond the reef o f space, he will not disprove God’s existence; he will unfold another chapter in our understanding of His omnipresence. Whatever sci­ ence discovers, it only succeeds in opening the lid which conceals the evidence of His glory. Every step into the unknown in the field of research unveils another monu­ ment to His omnipotence. Why should man fear science? When he does, he is afraid o f the full capabilities of his own mind which God gave him to use. Only the Christian who knows the re­ demptive LOVE o f God is moral­ ly and spiritually capable o f ap­ preciating the results o f research. We dare not worship at the shrine o f science, for this is idolatry. We dare not deprecate science, for this is intellectual bigotry and ignorance. We dare not destroy the truth of science, for this would be sin. We must dare to use it, every tried vestige of it, to the GLORY OF GOD.

D u r in g t h e p a s t 1 0 0 years there has been a growing fear, on the part o f Christians, of the findings o f the sciences. On the other hand, because o f state­ ments o f ignorance on the part of some Christian leaders, there has been an increasing amount o f skepticism toward the Scriptures by the scientist. We must under­ stand that there are often moral reasons why the scientist stands in rebellion to what the Bible has to say. Man, when he is honest, realizes that if he accepts the Bi­ ble as authoritative on such sub­ jects as Creation, he is bound by logic also to accept the ethics, morals and redemptive patterns that accompany such belief. Should we fear science? Is it contradictory to what the Bible says? The Bible is not a textbook on science but where it speaks it has been proven, and is being proven each day in the research field and laboratory, to be 100% correct. Probably the difficulty arises from the fact that we do not have the ultimate answers of science on the one hand, or we are erroneously interpreting the Bible. An inductive study of the Word, rather than going to it with traditional prejudices, r educ e s the problem greatly. Also, we must discern between an hypothe­ sis and the proven facts. Mechan­ istic views of science are only dangerous when predicated and controlled by theological preju­ dice. When God placed man on the earth He said, “ . . . and subdue it.” This includes bio-chemistry,
